I got the Balance Me Rose Otto Body Wash free with September's issue of Red magazine. Avid readers will know that I am a massive fan of rose products so found this offer too good to pass up and I also discovered that Red magazine was a really good read.
The claims
'Our gently foaming, sulphate free body wash is heavenly scented, luxuriously moisturising and deeply soothing thanks to our bespoke blend of skin-quenching rose otto, palma rose and mood balancing rose geranium oils. Even the most sensitive skin can soak up softness, leaving it feeling supplier and smoother'
Balance Me claims that this wash is perfect for the very sensitive skins, I don't have sensitive skin to be able to substantiate these claims but they also claim that it is perfect for the rose connoisseurs and that is something that I certainly am.
The reality
This is a heavily rose scented wash that smells of delicious Turkish delight. I adore the scent but it doesn't linger on the skin. Despite it being scented I didn't have any irritation from it and I did find it to be gentle to use. The actual product is very runny, so you have to move fast so that you don't waste the product as it literally pours out of the tube on its own. I have found this happens with a lot of natural bathing products though. The wash does have a gentle foam which is pleasant for those that like to see some bubbles! My skin is left feeling soft and comfortable and if I forget/run out of time to use a moisturiser, my skin is not left feeling the need for anything extra.
As a product that contains no parabens, sulphates, petroleum, mineral oils, silicones etc I think that it is really rather appealing. If you like rose scented products then you will love this.
Have you tried this product?
Balance Me Rose Otto Body Wash retails for £8 for 125ml
Oh glad you managed to grab a copy - I adored the smell of this and could often be found in the bathroom having a sneaky sniff! I have fairly sensitive skin and wasn't irritated by it at all. I'm also someone who likes to shave her legs daily in the shower and this gave enough of a lather to do this without issue. I love Red magazine as well and am a subscriber - talking of which Novembers copy landed today ................:-) x
